Mrs.Brill
1) From what point of view is "Miss Brill" told? This story was told in thrid person, because the narrator is reading the story to you about another person. For example, the narrator is using 'He,she and they'.
2) Is the narration (storytelling) told using present tense or past tense (retrospective)?
This was present tense form .
3) "The storyteller (aka the narrator) seems to know exactly what is going on inside Miss Brill's head. In fact, the narrator is too close to Miss Brill for a reader to know exactly what is real and what is imagined." Do you agree or disagree with this remark? Why? I do agree with the narrator, but I also do see what was real, and imagiable.
